Please don't get me started on the "ties go the runner is a myth" thing because of the "there are no ties in baseball" fallacy. This study says that on average there are 1.3 calls PER GAME that are "too close to call- in other words, "ties". Of these 1.3/game almost 14% were"too close to call" EVEN IN SLO-MO INSTANT REPLY.

There are most certainly "ties" in baseball - the challenge is that you, as the ump, just have to figure out a consistent approach to how you're going to call those "too close to call" plays.
